Hallo! I'm Mandie. I'm a college student, at home I have a Border Collie (11) and a Pomeranian (9) - I was actively involved in the training of both. Now I'm looking into getting an Emotional Support Dog of my own up here, that may advance to being a service dog if I don't get these wonderful issues of mine worked out, so I'm trying to figure out the best breed of dog to get and get a look at food/exercise/training tips from people who deal with those dogs daily.

This looks like a wonderfully active forum!

Mine is sometimes going with me in the mental institute, he's training to be a therapy dog.

Very cool! I'll probably work on training mine as a therapy dog to spread the "wealth" if you will lol!

I dont have any experience with my dog being a therapy dog but a lot of kids here in our are loves my pets because they are not aggressive in any way (except for some hand biting kinda rough play)... Seeing kids love playing with my crew really makes me happy too. I just remind them not to provoke my pets of any rough play or hurt any of my dogs.
